Synthetic Benchmarks
With such a substantial overclock even up over top of the overclocked Asus R9 280X that I took a look at previously. I expected the R9 280X Toxic to perform well. What did surprise me was how well the card performed compared to the GTX 780. In 3DMark Fire Strike the Toxic was within 16 points of the GTX 780. In the Extreme run the two cards aren’t as close together in performance though. In 3DMark 11 and Heaven benchmark the results aren’t as close together and in some cases the performance was closer to the GTX 770. Compared to the other overclocked R9 280X the Toxic was noticeably ahead in each one of the tests as well.
